Could ethanol vapor collect in low spots?

Chemistry
1 answer:
Leviafan [203]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

Yes

Explanation:

Denatured ethanol fuel is a polar solvent, which is soluble in water. A

Polar solvent is a compound with a charge separation in chemical bonds, such as  alcohol, most acids, or ammonia. These have affinity with water and  will dissolve easily. Denatured fuel ethanol has a flash point of  -5 ° F and a vapor density of 1.5, indicating that it is heavier than air.

Consequently, ethanol vapors do not rise, similar to the gasoline vapors they are looking for  lower altitudes. The specific gravity of denatured fuel ethanol is 0.79, which  indicates that it is lighter than water and has a self-ignition temperature of 709 ° F and a  boiling point of 165-175 ° F. Like gasoline, the most denatured fuel,  the greatest danger of ethanol as an engine fuel component is its flammability.

It has a wider flammable range than gasoline (LEL is 3% and UEL is 19%).

Ammonia, NH3; ammonium nitrate, NH4NO3; and ammonium hydrogen phosphate, (NH4)2HPO4, are all common fertilizers. Rank the compou
ValentinkaMS [17]

Answer:

Ammonia, NH₃ > ammonium nitrate, NH₄NO₃ > ammonium hydrogen phosphate, (NH₄)₂HPO₄

Explanation:

Mass percentage -

Mass percentage of A is given as , the mass of the substance A by mass of the total solution multiplied by 100.

i.e.

mass % A = mass of A / mass of solution * 100

Given,  

mass of nitrogen = 14 g/mol

mass of hydrogen = 1 g/mol

mass of oxygen = 16 g/mol

mass of phosphorus = 31 g/mol

1. Ammonia, NH₃

Hence , the mass of solution is calculated as the summation of the mass of the atom * number of atom ,  

Hence ,  

mass of solution = 1 * 14 g/mol  + 3 * 1 g/mol  

mass of solution = 17 g/mol

and ,

mass of nitrogen = 14 g/mol

The mass percent of nitrogen can be calculated from using the above formula  

mass % N = mass of N / mass of solution * 100

mass % N = 14 g/mol / 17 g/mol * 100

mass % N = 82.35 % .

2.   ammonium nitrate, NH₄NO₃

Hence , the mass of solution is calculated as the summation of the mass of the atom * number of atom ,  

Hence ,  

mass of solution = 2 * 14 g/mol  + 4 * 1 g/mol  + 3 * 16 g/mol

mass of solution = 80 g/mol

and ,

mass of nitrogen = 14 g/mol

The mass percent of nitrogen can be calculated from using the above formula  

mass % N = mass of N / mass of solution * 100

mass % N = 14 g/mol / 80 g/mol * 100

mass % N = 17.50 % .

3.   ammonium hydrogen phosphate, (NH₄)₂HPO₄

Hence , the mass of solution is calculated as the summation of the mass of the atom * number of atom ,  

Hence ,  

mass of solution = 2 * 14 g/mol  + 9 * 1 g/mol  + 4 * 16 g/mol + 1 * 31 g/mol

mass of solution = 132 g/mol

and ,

mass of nitrogen = 14 g/mol

The mass percent of nitrogen can be calculated from using the above formula  

mass % N = mass of N / mass of solution * 100

mass % N = 14 g/mol / 132 g/mol * 100

mass % N = 10.60 % .

Hence , the correct order is -

Ammonia, NH₃ > ammonium nitrate, NH₄NO₃ > ammonium hydrogen phosphate, (NH₄)₂HPO₄

Would you expect the wavelength of maximum absorbance for [Cu(NH3)4]2+ to be greater than or less than the wavelength of maximum
DENIUS [597]

Answer:

Less

Explanation:

Since [Cu(NH3)4]2+ and [Cu(H2O)6]2+ are Octahedral Complexes the transitions between d-levels explain the majority of the absorbances seen in those chemical compounds. The difference in energy between d-levels is known as ΔOh (ligand-field splitting parameter) and it depends on several factors:

  • The nature of the ligand: A spectrochemical series is a list of ligands ordered on ligand strength. With a higher strength the ΔOh will be higher and thus it requires a higher energy light to make the transition.
  • The oxidation state of the metal: Higher oxidation states will strength the ΔOh because of the higher electrostatic attraction between the metal and the ligand

A partial spectrochemical series listing of ligands from small Δ to large Δ:

I− < Br− < S2− < Cl− < N3− < F−< NCO− < OH− < C2O42− < H2O < CH3CN < NH3 < NO2− < PPh3 < CN− < CO

Then NH3 makes the ΔOh higher and it requires a higher energy light to make the transition, which means a shorter wavelength.

Which lists the elements in order from least conductive to most conductive?
Savatey [412]

Answer: Option (A) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Nitrogen is a non-metal and it is known that non-metals do not conduct electricity. Thus, it will be least conductive out of the given options.

Whereas antimony (Sb) is a metalloid. Metalloid are the substance that show properties of both metals and non-metals. Thus, antimony will conduct electricity.

On the other hand, bismuth (Bi) is a metal hence, it will conduct electricity.

Thus, we can conclude that the order from least conductive to most conductive will be nitrogen (N), antimony (Sb), bismuth (Bi).
